MY EVENING REFLECTION

Message #45 is titled 'I Will Give Them This Water'.

What is this water that Our Lady says She will give to Her priest-sons? She explains to Fr. Gobbi that the Church, (in those days of 1974), was parched with the dryness of confusion, the souls of Her beloved priests were parched and many were defecting from the holy priesthood. I remember those days when so many left their vocation for the secular life, some even marrying, breaking their vows of chastity. Yes, even some of my own priest friends left us in shock and totally confounded.

But Our Lady wants to give these priests pure water, crystal-clear water to quench their great thirst for the truth! She Herself will give them this water of truth! But Her priest-sons must make themselves available for this water. They have to detach themselves from the world and all its seductions. They must free themselves for the sake of Our Lady and Her Movement.

Now these priests cannot do this alone. They need each others support and love. They need to help each other, encourage each other, walk the path together. As they abandon the world, they will rely more on Our Lady. She promises to provide everything for their living; a home, clothing, food, etc., because as Mother She knows what Her child needs.

And they need to ask for things! Our Lady says that She feels joy in Her Heart when Her priest sons ask Her for something. Ask especially everything for their brother-priests, because each one needs so much from Her Immaculate Heart. Ask and you will receive! Why? Because this is the beginning of the great Triumph in Her priest-sons!
